Question

12 = x - 24

I think know the answer but I’m unsure of how to do it

Answer 1

x = 36

Explanation:

Add 24 to 12 because 24 is minus, so when it is moved to the other side of the equation it is plus.

Answer 2

36

Explanation:

you have to isolate your variable. To do this, you add 24 to each side. On the left side its 12+24 and on the right, its 24+(-24) which then equals zero. In simple terms, x=12+24
